He is a pioneer in computer-assisted education. He was director of the Office of Computing Activities at the National Science Foundation.
Computer Literacy is a term that has been attributed to Andrew Molnar in the early 1970s. He recalls:
"We started computer literacy in '72 [...] We coined that phrase. It's sort of ironic. Nobody knows what computer literacy is. Nobody can define it. And the reason we selected [it] was because nobody could define it, and [...] it was a broad enough term that you could get all of these programs together under one roof".
